Rear axle dually-srw-cab chassis dually
Since there has been some questions about the differences in rear axles, and since I have all 3, I decided it was time to measure the differences.
The 96 F350 2wd crewcab dually measured
end of axle tube to end of axle tube 61.5"
end of axle tube to center of spring perch 8"
center to center of spring perch 45.5"
The 96 F350 cab and chasis 4x4
end of axle tube to end of axle tube 55"
end of axle tube to center of spring perch 7.5"
center to center of spring perch 41"
The 97 single rear wheel F350
end of axle tube to end of axle tube 57.5"
end of axle tube to center of spring perch 6"
center to center of spring perch 45.5"
I hope this will help anyone who is looking to convert to duals or replacing a rear axle.
EDIT The end to end of axle tube measurement should be to where the brake backing plate bolts on to the axle housing, not the end of the spindle tubes.

I would like to convert mine to duals as well, but was wondering if I need to replace any other components that may not handle the load when I go up to the 350 springs and components. My truck is a 97 F-250 single rear wheel crew cab. I will probably do this at the same time as changing out the front axle. I am probably going to get away from the 4.10 gears as my mpg sucks
